Hi there foodies! This week, we can all look forward to a long weekend. While some of us will finally have the chance for a breather, some of us prefer to catch up with our friends over a cup of coffee. Penang’s cafe scene has been booming lately but today, we’re gonna be taking a virtual trip across the bridge to Bukit Mertajam. In fact, BM has its own line of cafes that are just as visit-worthy. Here are 10 cafes in Bukit Mertajam that will make your cross-island trip that much more worthy and fun. Let’s go!
10 Cafes To Visit In Bukit Mertajam, Penang

Aside from its modern exterior, Koji Fusion takes Japanese and Western cuisine up a few notches by fusing them into one. Their delicious menu is served in a minimalist and tempting way, making you wanna dig in immediately. Also, the overall ambiance here is rather relaxing and is perfect for a date night.
